}Morphological and behavioural traits of a feral strain of the common carp Cyprinus carpio from Lake Biwa in Japan were compared with those of two domesticated strains reared in Japan (one commercial strain and one ornamental koi). To compare genetically inherited traits, all fish were reared from eggs under similar environmental conditions. Using these fish, the following five traits were compared among the three strains: body shape, consumption rate of two types of free-swimming shrimp, medaka…

Life history and population dynamics of invasive common carp, Cyprinus carpio, within a large turbid African impoundment
- Environmental Science
- 2011
Life history comparisons across the species’ global distribution showed large variations in growth and longevity, whereas early maturation (2–3 years) appeared to be a rather conservative trait, which suggests a rapid population growth potential associated with high resilience to management interventions once C. carpio has been introduced.
Impacts of domestication on angling vulnerability of common carp, Cyprinus carpio: the role of learning, foraging behaviour and food preferences
- Environmental Science
- 2013
It was concluded that vulnerability to angling has a genetic basis in carp and that boldness plays a paramount role in explaining why more domesticated genotypes are more easily captured by angling.
Differences in anti-predator behavior and survival rate between hatchery-reared and wild grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idellus)
- Biology, Environmental Science
- 2017
Hatchery-reared C. idellus showed significantly lower aggregation index, inspection rate, and spent less time in risky area compared to their wild counterparts, which raises concerns about the efficiency of restocking programs and highlights the need to adjust artificial rearing and stocking conditions of C. Idellus to produce fish that are better adapted to natural conditions.
Effects of Domestication on Fish Behaviour

Through classical behavioural traits, such as swimming capacities, foraging, social interactions, or reproduction, and also personality or cognitive abilities, what domestication modifies in fish behavioural traits is shown.
Morphological features of an endangered Japanese strain of Cyprinus carpio: reconstruction based on seven SNP markers.
- Environmental ScienceJournal of fish biology
- 2017
Morphological analyses of 183 specimens of Japanese common carp Cyprinus carpio using genetic hybrid indices demonstrated that the typical native Japanese strain of C. carpio has a more elongate body, more branched dorsal-fin rays, fewer and shorter gill rakers, more developed pneumatic bulb and longer posterior swimbladder.
The common carp, Cyprinus carpio, in the Mediterranean region : origin, distribution, economic benefits, impacts and management.

There is a compelling need for more focused research in more vulnerable areas characterised by drier/warmer and overall more unpredictable climate conditions, which appear to favour successful common carp population dynamics.

- BiologyZoological research
- 2020
Results showed that current hatchery-reared fish displayed a stubbier body shape than their wild conspecifics from the 1980s, and corresponding recommendations are discussed, including release size, feed formulations, breeding strategies, and release tags, to minimize potential risks and improve hatchery practices for better restocking of this species.
The role of ecological context and predation risk-stimuli in revealing the true picture about the genetic basis of boldness evolution in fish
- Biology, PsychologyBehavioral Ecology and Sociobiology
- 2011
This study investigates boldness in terms of feeding behavior and refuge use in two genetically different populations of juvenile carp in two replicated experimental conditions in ponds and laboratory tanks to highlight the importance of genotype × environment interactions and the presence of predation risk in the experimental assessment of boldness.
Stable isotope and molecular analyses indicate that hybridization with non-native domesticated common carp influence habitat use of native carp
- Environmental Science
- 2010
The results suggest that multiple-generation hybridization can influence habitat and resource use and should be considered when evaluating the genetic impacts of invasive species and races on native species and ecosystem processes.

Implications of domestication and rearing conditions for the behaviour of cultivated fishes

The evidence that such processes have produced behavioural differences between wild and cultured fishes is reviewed in relation to feeding, antipredator responses, aggression and reproductive behaviour and the concept of 'behavioural syndromes' is discussed.

The first domesticated fish was the common carp Cyprinus carpio, and more recently other species have been domesticated by aquarists, such as the guppy Poecilia reticulata or the neon tetra Paracheirodon innesi.

The results show that, while juvenile farmed Atlantic salmon are inherently more aggressive than wild-origin fish, the hatchery environment reduces their ability to compete for territories with wild resident fish.
Polymorphism in ornamental and common carp strains (Cyprinus carpio L.) as revealed by AFLP analysis and a new set of microsatellite markers
- BiologyMolecular Genetics and Genomics
- 2001
Findings agree with genetic distance estimates in suggesting that the grass carp is phylogenetically quite remote from all the other populations examined, and the ecoRI/TaqI combination generated more analyzable AFLP bands than the EcoRI/MseI pair, making the former preferable for the analysis of carp populations.
Behavioral Differences Among Rainbow Trout Clonal Lines

Examination of variation in behavior patterns among four clonal lines of rainbow trout derived from geographically diverse source populations with different domestication histories suggests that domestication history of the source populations had a strong influence on these behavior patterns.
Alternative male life‐history tactics as potential vehicles for speeding introgression of farm salmon traits into wild populations
- Biology
- 2003
It is found that those of farm origin have higher breeding and fertilization success than wild and hybrid individuals and early maturing males could be important vehicles promoting introgression of domesticated and/or non-native traits into wild populations and ultimately have longterm impact on the genetic integrity of native populations.
